This is the "headline" for KDM's login window. You may want to put some nice greeting or information about the operating system here.<p>KDM will substitute the following character pairs with the respective contents:<br><ul><li>%d -> current display</li><li>%h -> host name, possibly with domain name</li><li>%n -> node name, most probably the host name without domain name</li><li>%s -> the operating system</li><li>%r -> the operating system's version</li><li>%m -> the machine (hardware) type</li><li>%% -> a single %</li></ul>

Click here to choose an image that KDM will display. You can also drag and drop an image onto this button (e.g. from Konqueror).

You can choose whether and how KDM shows your password when you type it.

Here you can choose the language used by KDM. This setting does not affect a user's personal settings; that will take effect after login.

<h1>KDM - Appearance</h1> Here you can configure the basic appearance of the KDM login manager, i.e. a greeting string, an icon etc.<p> For further refinement of KDM's appearance, see the "Font" and "Background" tabs.

Use anti-aliasing for fonts

If you check this box and your X-Server has the Xft extension, fonts will be antialiased (smoothed) in the login dialog.

Here you can select who is allowed to shutdown the computer using KDM. You can specify different values for local (console) and remote displays. Possible values are:<ul> <li><em>Everybody:</em> everybody can shutdown the computer using KDM</li> <li><em>Only root:</em> KDM will only allow shutdown after the user has entered the root password</li> <li><em>Nobody:</em> nobody can shutdown the computer using KDM</li></ul>

Here you can specify where KDM will obtain the images that represent users. "Admin" represents the global folder; these are the pictures you can set below. "User" means that KDM should read the user's $HOME/.face.icon file. The two selections in the middle define the order of preference if both sources are available.

Here you can see the image assigned to the user selected in the combo box above. Click on the image button to select from a list of images or drag and drop your own image on to the button (e.g. from Konqueror).

Select the user to be preselected for login. This box is editable, so you can specify an arbitrary non-existent user to mislead possible attackers.

When this option is on, KDM will place the cursor in the password field instead of the user field after preselecting a user. Use this to save one key press per login, if the preselection usually does not need to be changed.

When this option is on, a user will be logged in again automatically when their session is interrupted by an X server crash; note that this can open a security hole: if you use a screen locker than KDE's integrated one, this will make circumventing a password-secured screen lock possible.

<h1>Login Manager</h1> In this module you can configure the various aspects of the KDE Login Manager. This includes the look and feel as well as the users that can be selected for login. Note that you can only make changes if you run the module with superuser rights. If you have not started the KDE Control Center with superuser rights (which is absolutely the right thing to do, by the way), click on the <em>Modify</em> button to acquire superuser rights. You will be asked for the superuser password.<h2>Appearance</h2> On this tab page, you can configure how the Login Manager should look, which language it should use, and which GUI style it should use. The language settings made here have no influence on the user's language settings.<h2>Font</h2>Here you can choose the fonts that the Login Manager should use for various purposes like greetings and user names. <h2>Background</h2>If you want to set a special background for the login screen, this is where to do it.<h2>Shutdown</h2> Here you can specify who is allowed to shutdown/reboot the machine and whether a boot manager should be used.<h2>Users</h2>On this tab page, you can select which users the Login Manager will offer you for logging in.<h2>Convenience</h2> Here you can specify a user to be logged in automatically, users not needing to provide a password to log in, and other convenience features.<br>Note, that these settings are security holes by their nature, so use them very carefully.
